| I’m not reading too much into this. I’m actually not reading anything into it. I’m observing that the schedule for this year is markedly different from recent (and even not so recent) pre-pandemic history. Every year saw 3-4 eligibility announcements throughout the season. These would often be announced with language like ‘this is the first of 4 meetings the committee will have.’ The Broadway season isn’t a mystery. People schedule these meetings in advance. And generally there are only a few uncertainties about which category something will be in. So to suggest that not announcing anything is somehow more ‘fair’ is just bizarre. The schedule of announcements is different than it was. And the reason for this has not been explained. And ‘it’s probably just that people are busy’ isn’t an explanation. People have always been busy. Maybe it’s a new chair who is running things differently. Maybe the committee as a whole decided to change things. Maybe there is some one-off thing about this year. Nothing has been announced so it is impossible to know. But it is a significant change- to go from 3-4 meetings / press releases that are explicitly communicated as coming out at regular intervals (and on dates that were pretty consistent from one year to the next) to… an unknown number of press releases announced at uncertain dates. |
